2002-03 Premieres List by orchestra

At the start of every concert season from 2002-03 to 2012-13, the editors of Symphony magazine compiled comprehensive listings of world, U.S., and Canadian premieres planned by League of American Orchestra members. The lists demonstrate the artistic vitality of orchestras across the continent and serve as a valuable archive for press and orchestra professionals.

The lists include names of the works, the orchestras premiering them, scheduled premiere dates, conductors, commissioning parties, and soloists. Titles and names not provided by the orchestras in the survey are designated TBA. The lists were compiled based on responses to a survey of League members and were not meant to be comprehensive. The lists were compiled before the start of each concert season; for listings of premieres compiled at the end of each season, see the League’s Orchestra Repertoire Reports here.

At left are links to the premieres lists by season, starting in 2002-03.
